Asrock. Why? Gigabyte keeps bringing new revisions of the same model out, making some drastic changes (without announcing it) such as cheaping out on the vrm components (having a significant impact on vrm temps) because other boards were doing it as well which is flat out BS.

Heres the proof; http://be.hardware.info/reviews/5948/11/intel-h81-chipset-moederborden-test-4x-e50--4x-e60-vrm-test

But the ASrock H81M HDS does not support 7.1 audio (I will buy Razer Kraken in 2months after build my PC)

You don't need a 7.1 onboard sound to use a 7.1 Headset. Besides it's not even real 7.1, it's just virtualized 7.1. I rather recommend something else though, Kraken are terrible quality wise
